Rebuilding old DOS Machine for Wing Commander Privateer and Puppy Old spare parts to give away - anyone interested

Did a frugal install on my old Athlon XP box...... no problem creating save file....actually no real problems at all. Internet,sound and display all working and correct on initial boot. Will do more testing when some free time magically appears.
Good start.

Puppy finds and mount automatic /mnt/home or /initrd/mnt/dev_save or /initrd/mnt/dev_ro2 (a bit chaotic, I know!) depending of the puplet.

important is that the partition in which the puplet is logged in is directly already mounted and named with a symbolic address being valid on all PC's using the puplet, so that you can send your puplet to an other puppy user or upload it and it works!

as years and years ago this works without to need to search a solution, I am not experimented in that . how to realize it in ArchPup 1204?

Pwireless problem:
I select my wifi network, when I press connect nothing happens, no WPA2 key asked, and no connection establisehd.
Tried with a WPA and WEP networks - no luck. I only have wired lan.
I'm working with an Acer Aspire One with atheros AR5BXB63 card. Usually ath5k driver works.

Looks like it's problem with udev, but since I dont own wireless can't check that myself.

So mavrothal if you see this please open file: /var/lib/spkg/installed/udev/def.

and check if there is something wrong with configure options or some udev.rules are missing?

Would really like to fix this...

T_Hobbit's issue appears to be with Pwireless/WPA supplicant rather than kernel module/firmware as mine was (dmesg might also be helpfull here).

In any case, udev compile configuration-wise, just drop "--disable-extras" (add "--enable-extras"). Actually since all devices are generated dinamically extras improved acuuracy of the process._________________== Here is how to solve yourLinux problems fast ==

I've wanted an Arch based Puppy for ages, but I just haven't found the time to attack the making, myself.
So a big thankyou for this ArchPup,, which I've just finished downloading, and I'm longing to try it out. Arch is a super distro, but as I'm a Puppy Addict it's the perfect solution for me. With pacman the prospects are without limit, and it's my dream Puppy that you've created.
Sincerely you have my greatest, and humble THANKS!

Thunar will mount the save file location, then simply press save and it will create a folder called archpup

It's not that I can't ctreate the save file. My issue is that the save file doesn't get picked up during boot time. As if it's not there, but it IS there. Tried to place it in the same directory, outside, another partition, different boot parameters - no joy. The system defiantly and contemptuosly refuses to see it. Can it be because the SD card I'm running it from is formatted as fat32 - but then I have seven other puppies on it, that run without a hitch?
